Research suggests…
that approximately 25% of American children will experience at least one traumatic event by the age 16.
A child’s reaction to trauma can interfere considerably
with learning and/or behavior at school. …schools can serve as a critical system of support for
children who have experienced trauma.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is one of the largest investigations ever conducted (more than 17,000 participants) to assess associations between childhood maltreatment and later-life health and well-being.
The ACE Study findings suggest that certain experiences are major risk factors for the leading causes of illness and death as well as poor quality of life in the United States.

63% (10,700)of those in the study reported at
least one category of childhood trauma. And of those 63%, over 20% (2,100) experienced 3 or more categories, and 12.5 % reported 4 or more which meets the criteria for Adverse Childhood Experience.

Ask Yourself
While you were growing up, during your first 18 years of life:
1. Did a parent or other adult in the household often
or very often… swear at you, insult you, put you down or
humiliate you? Or… act in a way that made you afraid that you might
be physically hurt?
